Scenic Art
About me
I have had a passion for art and design throughout my life and I graduated from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts with a Distinction Fda in Scenic Art and Prop Making in 2020.
​
I am an extremely hard worker and I started my own small business in 2020 selling cupcakes and bespoke cakes. I love baking and this allowed me to explore a different angle to my creative side. My other interests include travel and animals and I hope in the future my work could take me around the world!
​
I studied Drama throughout my entire school life as well as attending a children's theatre group for 12 years. I enjoy everything to do with theatre and film and am excited for the opportunity to work in such a thriving industry!
